Overall:
I've been using GHS Fast Fret String Cleaner for many years on mountain dulcimers, and I wouldn't play without it! This product makes stringed instruments much easier to play, and especially makes it less painful for your fingers to slide up and down the fretboard! Fast Fret will also prolong the life of your strings, keeping them free of oxidation; and this product is also very good for your instrument's wood fretboard. Use this before and after you play and you'll save wear and tear on your fingers, strings, and instrument! This product is definitely worth having!

Overall:
I've used GHS Fast Fret for many years. I like it better than other string cleaners / lubricants on my guitars. I use nothing but EB 8's on all of my electrics and find this gives me cleaner strings and fretboard and smooth movement all along the neck. I wouldn't use anything else on any of my guitars and I have 19 of them. I HIGHLY Recommend it to any musician that cares for his instruments and playing skills.

Overall:
I have been using this product for a few days. It seems to do a very good job of cleaning the strings. The first time I used it on my acoustics you could really see the grime it was removing from the strings. After using the product even older strings look and sound new again. I did replace the included rag with one a little more durable. After a few wipes with the rag it started to fray and get on my stings. But the product itself works great. I can get a good amount of playing out of my guitars before having to reapply. I can not speak on how long the product will last before it dries up but I am hoping a good while. I purchased some XLR8 today from zZounds to compare with it and I will be updating on that product once I receive it.

Overall:
I ordered Fast Fret to see if it would help reduce squeaks on my round wound bass strings, but it makes no difference. I've read quite a few reviews on various web sites, and figured it was worth a try, but I am dissapointed. It doesn't even make the strings feel different to me. My fingers don't go faster, and don't slide any easier. I gave it a few days (I practice almost every day, I need to :-) ), but it just doesn't make any difference. Maybe it works better on some other brands of strings, I don't know. On the positive side, the can it comes in is metal, not the plastic one many have complained about, and the applicator has a plastic cover, too. I might keep trying it for a while longer, but I have my doubts. It's inexpensive, so it was worth a try.

"Just Try It&quot

Sound:
Really quiets down the fret noise when you slide up or down the strings
Overall:
I liked it, in fact I bought it twice, because it makes playing the guitar faster! Much faster, you won't believe your fingers. Just one problem, I notice my fingers hurt after a shorter time of playing than without it. Also, one small note, your strings will last longer because it cleans and protects them, which for me is great because I have sweaty hands.

Overall:
GHS Fast Fret builds up on the strings of my electric guitar so fast its not cool. I just put on new ernie ball slinkys 10/46s I played it twice once immediately after installing strings and fast fret. and again the next day. Fast fret builds up or oxidizes the strings while the guitar is in its case. My guitar is gross. the strings are a waste now. And I thought my sweat was the worst thing for my strings. wow my guitar strings look like they are years old and kept outside. Then if you play the guitar the funk on the strings starts coming off all over the guitar pickups neck headstock act. Extremely disappointed. A complete waste of money

"Essential for any lazy string changer!&quot submitted April 11, 2004

Feature:
great product. keeps my strings clean and prolongs the life. doesn't really keep string noise down though. My fingers used to hurt when I played guitar, but now with this stuff I can play without hurting. I cannot play guitar without it now. Now I carry it with me everywhere.
Quality:
I have to agree with another reviewer here about the plastic lid. It keeps popping off and doesn't close tightly. I don't like having to worry about the product getting dried out and crusty. The old canister (which was non-plastic and sturdier) keeps this stuff longer. Otherwise I would give the quality ranking a 9.
Value:
cheap and worth it for keeping your strings longer. I hate to change strings and this stuff allows me to stretch out the life of my strings.

"great product for the price...those who don't use it have obviously never tried it!&quot submitted November 27, 2003

Sound:
when i got this stuff my strings were a month old (EXP16's) and it cleaned them up and made them sound new...now it's been another month and half and i'm just now considering changing strings...they still sound great and have that new-string shine...
Value:
so cheap and so good
